A :class:`SMTP` instance encapsulates an SMTP connection. It has methods
that support a full repertoire of SMTP and ESMTP operations. If the optional
- host and port parameters are given, the SMTP :meth:`connect` method is called
- with those parameters during initialization. If specified, *local_hostname* is
- used as the FQDN of the local host in the HELO/EHLO command. Otherwise, the
- local hostname is found using :func:`socket.getfqdn`. If the
- :meth:`connect` call
- returns anything other than a success code, an :exc:`SMTPConnectError` is
- raised. The optional *timeout* parameter specifies a timeout in seconds for
- blocking operations like the connection attempt (if not specified, the
- global default timeout setting will be used). The optional source_address
- parameter allows to bind to some specific source address in a machine with
- multiple network interfaces, and/or to some specific source TCP port. It
- takes a 2-tuple (host, port), for the socket to bind to as its source
- address before connecting. If omitted (or if host or port are ``''`` and/or
- 0 respectively) the OS default behavior will be used.
